You guys this is a steal. Most networks had a 3rd round grade on him. We got him in the 5th 😳

[@richmargin6082]

Yep. He kept falling so it made sense to trade back in to get him. Great steal

[@jmfirepro1303]

I like the pic, but we technically traded a fourth-round next year for him so he's really a fourth-round pick. Still, I agree, he could have gone in the third.

[@yakabatuka]

[@Josh-ce8ol]

​@jmfirepro1303 it cost to move up just like moving in it cost. An a 4th next year was equivalent to a 5th this year an that just how it is.

[@rodneyharvey8938]

73rd ranked player

[@tonyk7387]

I love that Sweat already messaged him. Bro im so excited for this team

[@KisutoJP]

THIS DRAFT IS UNREAL

[@MarcoLiftz]

Can’t believe the picks we got!

[@njasicko]

Bear Down! Excited to have this young man to help out the D-Line.

[@rafe496]

We got an Edge here boys. Poles does it again. Let’s go Austin!!! Bear down man! Can’t wait to see you on the field my dude.

[@dennislane853]

This young man has all the tools to do well for the Bears. He can certainly learn from Muntez Sweat.

[@James-rp5hz]

RYAN IS AN AWESOME GM, we finally have s guy that is smart and knows talent for sure, we are lucky to have him!!!!! SUPER BOWLS!!!!!! BABY, MULTIPLE

[@thechozenfew1273]

i think because he was an actual nfl player and then coming from the kansas city era when they started with mahomes - he might have a blue print thats what were hoping at least

[@jerememendez8497]

Wanted him in the 3rd so happy we got him!!!

[@richmargin6082]

Same

[@jasondierbeck4392]

He was my top choice for the 4th round pick. When Bears didn't take him, and had no more picks, I was bummed. This morning I am pleasantly surprised to find out he's a Bear. Didn't know the Bears had a 5th round pick. Even more shocked that he was still available in the 5th! Go Bears

[@alexamerling79]

Poles freaking killed this draft. Daniel Jeremiah said he could have been a first round pick next year if he went back to school. 🐻 down!

[@shannonsharpe7337]

This Draft class is hungry, has heart, and feels as if they have something to prove!! Booker your college tape is amazing you got that bear DNA!! Welcome to Chicago! 🐻 Down

[@cschroeder55]

This guy is gonna be a menance to society in Chicago!!! In the wise words of Bart Scott.. Can't wait!!

[@JEm-zc7xp]

The hell's a Bart Scott??

[@smittyque2567]

​@JEm-zc7xp definitely a casual 😅😅

[@gentlemans.guidance365]

He's a very serious guy buy you can tell hes stoked about being a Bear!!

[@lieut89]

Sounds like another good kid too! The Bears are building something very special!

[@user-bg9wo9ex2g]

This is amazing news 😮 The bears are about to be a monster... This one of the best draft ever....

[@alexchavez1559]

Great pick welcome to chicago bear down

[@rebth1st]

All these kids are so excited. I'm so happy for them.

[@tomrockhill8634]

I took a nap after the punter thinking they were done😮. What a Hell of a Nice surprise to wake up to🐻👍

[@jessejames2849]

Same bro, I was like huh 😂

[@tomtsu5923]

Same

[@amahdcole2185]

Welcome to Chicago Austin

[@sumyungchong]

Let's GOOO! Taylor gonna put our defense in a great position to score. Yea you read that right!!!

[@brettrollberg4863]

Imagine that would be crazy

[@jondilly1974]

Welcome young man. Looking forward to seeing your future growth.

[@user-cu1hh1gn1r]

Welcome

[@shady80s22]

I was devastated that we drafted the Punter over him, but we got them both, so all is well.

[@shermainwilliams8]

Punter would not have made it to 5th rd … Sometimes you gotta take the best guy on the board !

[@shady80s22]

@shermainwilliams8 I'm aware that he's a talented Punter, but we needed EDGE desperately. It all worked out in the end

[@jdieguez98]

What a steal !

[@richmargin6082]

Max crosby was underweight and added 15 lbs. his rookie year then he got much better. Austin needs to add 15 lbs of solid muscle weight and he will be dominant!! And he’s YOUNG!

[@Rendog-Dsypo]

Lets Go Bears!!!!! 💪🐻

[@pttthhh]

For college comps he reminds me of Latu, who i really wanted if Rome was gone. So Austin is like Latwo.

[@michaelstovall23]

Ok see what you did lol

[@user-bg9wo9ex2g]

What a level up ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Candesious]

Welcome to Chicago hit the Game film hard and ball out on the training be open to suggestions and positive changes stay strong

[@TheHallowhero]

Bear down! Welcome Booker!

[@cbears312]

Only 21! He’s only going to get better learning off sweat! 🐻⬇️

[@michaelmills7543]

I’m impressed with his attitude as well as his eagerness to learn. I have a great feeling about Mr. Booker. 🐻⬇️

[@RH-dk2bg]

Let’s get it Kid! Bear Down!!!

[@masonbrown533]

I already love this guy

[@markDwattssr]

I know Lance Leopold got this kid ready at Kansas, he is probably the best coach I’ve ever seen at consistently teaching fundamentals that stick with players. His highlight tape looks terrific. If his skills translate with the lower competition to the NFL this is an absolute steal.

[@AyoMarco96]

Quality > Quantity Poles cooked in this draft

[@Madskillsuniversity]

Austin, bring the heat bro! Welcome to Chicago! Sweat will help you big time and you will help our D. Bear Down!!! Poles and staff have done it again! LOL

[@tomrockhill8634]

4.79 is fine. I'll always remember when Terrell Suggs came out. He had some crazy sack numbers in the twenties and he was running 4.86 up into the 5.0's and it sure didn't seem to matter in the League.

[@ZeeBears64]

Congratulations and welcome to Chicago man I'm excited lots of upside. What a still much needed and very promising pick. Chicago up BEAR DOWN 💯🐻🏈🔥

[@phillippalmisano5243]

Great pick !! He will definitely help out with third and long downs getting to the QB!!

[@josepharcher3265]

WELCOME TO THE CHICAGO BEAR'S

[@ericcontreras6206]

Reping Greenwood, Ind! Im excited to see this young man play

[@dylanmoore8638]

I see Booker as a situational pass rusher (like a Bryce Huff) for a year or 2, then after beefing up a bit and refining his skill, this guy could be a beast starting edge! Amazing draft!

[@Jaxsonn-ph4ey]

Yet another poles master class draft all around. He’s pookie

[@TheNFLFilmRoom]

I can’t believe we actually got him.

[@ElricX]

What a great pick! Welcome to Chicago 🐻⬇ FTP!

[@jcrit743]

He's going to make teams pay for passing on him, he's has less snaps then almost anyone in the draft, so the talent he has can only grow.

[@ecobean3440]

Welcome to Chicago AB!

[@ryannelson8657]

Watched some scouting reports. Pretty raw, high pad level, doesnt generate power from his lower body and is a little slight for his frame. Hopefully maybe he can give us some juice on passing downs but this is a project. Solid pick though!

[@isaiahdelacruz6221]

Welcome Austin !!! We already love you ! Well , true Bears fans love you I should say

[@leonjj39]

Unbelievable Austin was still available .Poles draft not only needs but steals

[@paweltylman9831]

He can be a stud and be starter in near future next to montenz

[@acedill2860]

Coach Washington will get this kid ready in the next couple of seasons. He's gonna be a contributor 🐻👇🏾

[@barryturner2902]

DRAFT KING POLES & CO.! SO glad you're a BEAR, Austin! GO!

[@MarcoLiftz]

Man we just keep getting good picks / upgrading at every position

[@7145TrenchbabyTV-qh3wf]

Welcome to Chicago 🎉✅✅✅✅

[@Nautilus1972]

Welcome, Austin!

[@TheHallway7]

Austin will gain 20 lbs of muscle just hitting all the steak joints in town. 💪🏼❤️🐻

[@baaad33kitty]

The next Maxx Crosby 🎉🎉

[@johnscharnhorst3432]

Can't wait to see you run out on the field for the first time young man 🐻🔽

[@MH-wm6df]

Best draft in history of bears. Packers are COOKED FOR A DECADE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@michaelstovall23]

F the Wackers

[@eyoelberhane_blackmoth]

❤‍🔥

[@bearswin4]

GB get better love it

[@barryturner2902]

HaHa!!

[@acoolbear]

Hi Gods love you.

[@blankname6629]

Love the Keith Randolph undrafted free agent signing too

[@DAsbury79]

I’m confused about the comment about “him being at the Raiders 5 years ago and took a chance on Max Crosby”…..who was he talking about?

[@mikev3264]

Travis Smith - D-Line Coach

[@sumyungchong]

So weird thinking Bears are gonna have a well rounded great team

[@lafayettewright8593]

This kid got a motor quick burst off the line 🐻

[@oOBlackiceOo]

He has a lot to still work on. Get off is a little slow and can get lost in the scuffle. he has great patience and decent against the run. Does have some chase down speed.

[@stevethomas5467]

🐻⬇️

[@kraigsmith3193]

Corey Wooten doppelganger

[@AidanConroy]

STEAL

[@johnfuzz5179]

NFC north got made fun of for decades, now it is THE toughest division in NFL

[@stylezg9389]

SUPER STEAL!!! Wait until he's coached up by Coach Washington 🐻⬇️ Star in the making

[@baaad33kitty]

King Poles trades for an edge in the draft 🐻

[@brew-haw-7]

🐻🔽🌐🍻

[@anz2441]

He needs more weight and power at de next level..could be used as LB !

[@tjjones305]

Daddy Poles knows best

[@norman8038]

Booker is a developmental . Poles needs to go get Hendrickson.

[@nikkisimpson4340]

Ay bro when we play Green Bay sack Jordan love hard and when we play the lions let they fans know Goff can’t save em

[@achicagosfanperspective4160]

Add 10 more pounds.. Hopefully he develops

[@Nicholas-zb3bo]

My man looks DIALED

[@MarcoLiftz]

Dude looks fast on film he looks jacked here 😂

[@DanSharpDrummingChannel]

Jake Paul and Corey Wooton has a son...

[@eddiesandoval8480]

Haha I like playing this game, points earned here bud.

[@geldtas216]
